You shouldn't make assumptions about peoples vacation plans. ;)

New code must be ready and reviewed well in time before the merge window
*opens*. So generally you cannot expect anything you post this week to
be included in 4.19.

I know, and I already cut some corners for you with the baud-rate
handling changes even though this is strictly not a valid reason to
change the normal procedures.

That being said, I took a look at your gpio patch today and as it looks
like you've addressed the major concerns with v1, and done so in a clean
way, I'll make an exception.

I'll post some review comments, but I've already fixed up the patch
myself. It's mostly style issues, but I did also find two bugs.

I do need you to respin the commit message, though; a commit message
should be self-contained and not rely on external discussions to make
sense (you can of course still refer/link to it). Patch-revision info
should generally go below the cut-off line, unless it is useful to have
it recorded.

Can you post a reworked commit message today so I can include this in my
4.19 updates?

Thanks,
Johan
